Navid Jadidoleslam

PhD Student

After finishing my undergraduate studies from University of Tabriz, I started my MSc studies in 2012 at Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering Laboratory at Istanbul Technical University (Turkey). I graduated from ITU in June 2014.

My main MSc research was related to fluid dynamics where I studied wave power potential of the Aegean Sea (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2015.09.022). I also joined a soil dynamics group where my responsibilities included numerical modeling of partially saturated sand liquefaction under dynamic loads.

I am currently a PhD student at the Iowa Flood Center. My current research at Iowa Flood Center is focused on Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), where I am investigating the temporal and spatial variability of SMAP data and implementation of the data while comparing it with other soil moisture data sources for Iowa.
